Wojciech Szczęsny's departure from Barcelona is possible. Americans reveal
The goalkeeping soap opera in Barcelona has been going on for several months now. The future of ter Stegen, Szczęsny and Peni remains a big unknown, especially since Joan Garcia has just arrived from Espanyol. The Spaniards claim that this transfer is the end for the German goalkeeper at Bluagran, who returned to play at the end of the season, but his behind-the-scenes pressure was not liked by the club's management, who are not willing to cooperate with him any longer.
Garcia came to Barcelona to be the first-choice goalkeeper. Szczęsny is expected to be his replacement. The problem is, however, that the Pole is delaying signing a new contract, which is to last a year with an option to extend it for another season. Ter Stegen, on the other hand, has a contract until 2028 and does not plan to leave at any cost. Even with the option to terminate the contract and receive part of his salary. That is why ESPN claims that a lot can still happen in Barcelona this summer.
"There is pressure for ter Stegen to leave, although the 33-year-old Germany international has so far remained adamant in his desire to stay. But the summer is long and signing Garcia will have repercussions among the goalkeepers, even if it means Wojciech Szczęsny and Inaki Peni leaving rather than ter Stegen," the report reads.
Let's just recall that FC Barcelona dominated the Spanish competition last season. Hansi Flick's team won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup. In the Champions League, they reached the semi-finals, where they lost to Inter.
